2. Having the blood of Sparda can mean a few things, including clone/genetic copy of some sort. No not by the Order, just learnded how to make demons. But who do we know that can make an entirely new dimension with a morning stretch? Mundus. if anything he could have been a clone/genetic copy of either twin, as suggested here. or it could have been another person to create him. Or he could even be Spardas reincarnation. Either way he’s not a son, nor would it make sense.


 * the novel isn’t considered canon because the author wasnt even with Capcom when he wrote it and BECAUSE it covers scenes in different detail. as the game is the main medium of the series what happens in any other interpretation of those scene doesnt count as canon unless stated otherwise by the creators in charge. Much like if you watch BLEACH, Starks and Lilynettes death scenes were not as depicted in the anime, but in the manga. the novel takes too many liberties with the source material.

3. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2007/10/interview-hiroy/. this states DMC4 is 10 years after DMC3. Dante is only 29, 30 max, and by extension thats how old Vergil would be.DMC has a few inconsistencies and they can easily be explained without it being uttely ridiculous. they arent story breaking holes at all. something like Nero being his son is. just because a story doesnt have an Emmy winning story doesnt mean its ok to insert first grade level continuity.

4. Vergil doesnt care for anyone, the manga makes that clear. the exception may be Dante. he threw away his humanity because he saw that as his greatest weakness.he wanted to emulate Sparda because of his power, not his humanity. on a note of logic, having a son BEFORE gaining power makes no sense. all that does is create another obsticle/hinderence. his motives lie in insecurity and sadness. not driven by love.


 * he wouldnt have sex with Alice. hes not stupid, he know he would be having sex with a child, he seems to have more dignity than to take advantage of a kid. she wasnt really interested in him, he was just the only other person around besides Arkham. aslo if that happened, Nero could only be 11 max.

5. Evil Legacy because it has an anciant evil inside of it, meaning it has been around a long time and has a history as an object of evil and has been passed around. that particular item has no meaning to the Sparda family. Nero has a strong conection but that doesnt imply hes Vergils son at all. who did Yamato belong to 1st? Sparda. and as we've seen Yamato can be passed down to new owners and become their own. Yamato actually doesnt have a direct tie to Vergils power the way Sparda Sword and Rebellion do to Sparda and Dante respectively.

6. the artbooks are full of scrapped ideas, as is the novel. they arent to be taken as fact because they didnt make the final cut

in the end, the game reinforces that Nero is Spardas descendant, not Vergils son.
